Applesauce: Cups to Grams
1 cup of applesauce (also called apple puree) weighs about 255 g. Most people arrive here holding a packet, so the chart below runs from grams to cups: 100 g is about 3/8 cup, and 425 g is about 1 2/3 cups.
💡 Tip: Applesauce can replace fat or eggs in baking: swap oil 1:1, or use ¼ cup applesauce per egg, for a lower-fat, moister result.

Applesauce as a fat and egg swap
Applesauce is a baker's favorite for lightening recipes — about 255 g per cup. It replaces oil or butter at roughly 1:1 (keep some fat for the best texture), and ¼ cup stands in for one egg, adding moisture and binding without leavening. Use unsweetened so you control the sugar.
Because it adds moisture and little structure, applesauce works best in muffins, quick breads and brownies rather than delicate cakes.
